Some nice comments asiji, thanks for taking the time. "If you are uncertain where the best place for you to move would be, you are advised to stop wherever you are and wait for the emergency vehicle to advise you via loudspeaker." Heh - they wouldn't trust us with loudspeakers... Too much swearing for a start off. And I dread to think what tricks some of us would get up to with them. We also don't have the 'traffic light changing boxes', although I think some fire services have them. We just take our lives in our hands and treat red lights as 'give way' signs. I must admit, when I've visited the American continent, I've been impressed with the big roads, and how quickly people get out the way for you. With regards to the advert, it's the whole 'gung-ho' aspect that made me laugh, along with the 'To ride with us, you need to have badass in the blood" (or words to that effect). The one for the LAS would have various intercut scenes of us... Poking a sleeping drunk in a park with a stick. Sweating our bollocks off carrying a heavy patient down 4 flights of stairs. Having a drunk throw up in the back of our truck. Watching as someone rolls around in their own urine. Ticking off a nursing home for doing something incredibly stupid. Trying to finish a cup of tea while whizzing around on blue lights. Dealing with a cough that someone has had for three weeks. And of course... Picking up women in labour who's duration between contractions could be measured on a calender. Just me being cynical.
